Asset Manager - Care Homes

Own a portfolio of operational care homes where good asset management means better places for people to live as well as stronger returns. You'll work directly with the Fund Manager and the wider investment team, and cover everything from rent reviews and forward-funded developments to ESG. You'll see the results in the buildings themselves. The role You'll own the delivery of agreed asset management strategies across the OHF portfolio. That means growing income, value and risk-adjusted returns, working with operators, consultants and valuers.
